I'm still here in the hospital, still pregnant! Thanksgiving Day marked 31 weeks of pregnancy...praise God!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had much to be grateful for this year. Phil's mom and sister came to Dallas last weekend to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with us. It was wonderful to see them and to have Allison get to know them better. Phil got his new grill that weekend also, so they had a scrumptious meal of steak, salmon, and crab. I'm sure they were thinking of me in the hospital when they were chowing down!
On Thanksgiving, I had hospital food turkey for lunch. If you didn't know, hospital food is not the greatest. But even so, every meal I have here, I truly give thanks, because I know there are lots of people who don't have food to eat. Some of those people are right outside my window, around the corner. Baylor is in downtown Dallas, and there are more than a few homeless folks walking the streets, wondering where their next meal is going to come from. So I don't take for granted the abundance of food available to me. My mom and dad cooked a Korean rib feast and brought it up to the hospital on Thursday night. Sarah, Jun, Gracie, Phil, and Allison came to join in on our non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner (they had already had turkey and all the trimmings for lunch)!
Things with me are the same, but I'm really longing to go home. Only three more weeks until I'm 34 weeks, and although it feels like an eternity, I am hopeful because my doctor said I could go home then. Just in time for Christmas! Phil and I took a tour of the NICU yesterday and saw the tiniest babies on ventilators. So sad! Thankfully our babies won't be that small, but it made me even more determined to pray that they make it to at least 34 weeks before they are born. What a miracle and gift if they didn't have to spend any time in the NICU at all! Thanks for reading along and praying with us on this journey!

Praise God, we are so happy to hear that the babies are staying put!!! Keeping all of you in prayer everyday!!
Remember Mia and Jacob were born at 33 weeks 3 days and never needed anything other than an IV for 24 hours...not even oxygen...so keep those sweet ones cooking :) :)
I'm glad that everything is ok with the babies.
My girls born at 35 weeks and 3 days.
Have a nice weekend.
What a great Thanksgiving present to still have those babies "baking" inside! Many holiday hugs to you! Katie
Bess: You and your little ones are in my prayers everyday. Preslee and Mason were 34 weekers and were healthy as could be. PTL that everyone is staying put. Praying that you will get to go home and spend Christmas with Phil and Allison. Can you believe that we are almost 32 weeks? January is going to be a busy month for us!
